Aaaaaaawkaaaaaard encounters,,,,, but flattering none the less

[Sakura]

So i was at my local tanning salon today. as i have been frequently this summer. in and out after some mild banter with the ladies there, who have come to know me by first name. on my way out i stop at thier cooler they sell bottle water Sobe . i was after thier vitamin peach water for women..... with 10 essential vitamins and minerials, to help promote healthy bones, teeth skin . boost cologen and estrogen production , lol taken right from the comercial that blairs in my ear like 10 times a session.

But as i am looking in the cooler. they do not have the flavor i am looking for so i am stuck momentarially deciding on something else when this woman comes in. she looks over at me. does a double take then stairs at me. almost walking into the counter. she only takes her eyes off me just long enough to talk to one of the girls behind the counter about the length of session she would like . i fell in behind her to pay for my drink . she then turns around , looking me up and down . for what seems like an eternity before saying " Do you work out at the place right around the corner ? " my first thought was uhhhhg . and i say with a bounce of humor in my voice " no, my job keeps in pretty good shape " her brow curls as if dismayed by that. then she just begins gushing over me " oh my god . i wish i was in half as gooda shape as you, you are beautifully proportioned ....... tall and natrually blonde to boot" i look over at the girl behind the counter mildly paniced , she looks at me like " I dunno ?!" after conitnuing to lay it on rather thick. her exact words i can not remember . i snap from my momentary daze to utter " thank you " before the girl behing the counter reminds the woman. that the timer in her bed is counting down. she wanders off lookng back at me again . before disapearing into her room. i look at the girl behind the counter. who is also like wise at a loss of words , and a few of the others peering out from the back , before i make my way out to my car.

feeling very embarassed for some reason.,,,,, that was encounter one.

on my way home . i stop at this local samwich shop me and anthony like to eat at. pulling in the only place to park was by this group of spanish guys. sitting out on the hood of their car. two eating one spinning a basket ball around on his finger . all three in stupidly good shape and realitively handsome . all glistenny and stuff .... the basket ball i just assume that's what they were doing prior. after stairing momentarially at the masculin eye candy. ( the windows on my car are very dark tinted.) i get out and proceed to the shop. avoiding any amount of acknolegment to them . though i can feel my back heating up . and suddenly startled half to death as the basket ball bounces off the wall beside me of the side walk and back behind me . instantly causing me to look. the guy has it in his hands again and grinning ear to ear . and i hear one of the other says " Ahora que es una hermosa " to the other guys . i blushed bright red , because i know what hermosa means roughly . beautiful lady/woman. ( anthony and his spanish sentiments to me ) the rest i have no idea what that means . waitng for our smawichs i am axiously waiting for them to leave. but as my order is done they have not even hinted at budging. so i head back out as i walk back past them " Hey mammi . what you doin ? " which practically stops me in my tracks. it is a good thing i had my sunglasses on as i know i had a very deer in the head lights look going. i look at the one standing " hey come talk to me for a minute " i didn't move so he comes over to me . and begins laying his game down to me. then the question i knew was coming " you got a mans ? " and i was like " yes ,,,, hes waiting for this " holding up the bag of food. he takes my hand and twirls me around . almost causing my to stumble in the wedge sandals i have on. then goes " tsk. to bad mammi " and kisses the back of my hand says something again in spanish and let go of my hand . i scooted out of there agin embarassed as all hell.

reflecting on it. i mean i thought i look good today...... but damn. i am used to being hit on and . and i know i say i am above validation and affirmation...... but i have to say . i am as giddy as a school girl today

I often get honks outside of my house. I live on a busy road. It is always uplifting to know people see your beauty. I would have been officially creeped out by the 2nd situation. Giddy none the less though

[Guest ZensandT]

The spanish person said something close to, "Now there is a woman.".

Sakura lucky you...When people see me they scream in terror..we are talking running in there homes locking there doors terror here..Had to stop swimming in public lakes because of all the sea creature sightings and picture taking. Have been permanently banned from all amusement/city parks in the country because my face scares the kids so bad. Had to take out all the mirrors in my home cause if I walked by one I would scare myself..(above all jokes not to be taken seriously).lol..... On a serious note we all would love to be able to look good as you do..

[Guest Valerie]

Sakura;

I am very happy for you. You really do seem to have some interesting events happen to you. I really like to hear about your experiences and I can almost dream seeing them happening.

Yes, I have seen your pictures in your gallery and you do look very lovely.

Have fun and keep up the good work.

/Love

[Guest MsPerseveres]

Very affirming - so happy for you!

Hugs, Brenda

[Charlize]

Ahh to be young. Be careful dear don't get them too riled up.

Its been awhile since this old girl has had a heavy hit and as we get older that is easier to take. The few that happen are flattering though. Be safe and enjoy,

Hugs, Charlie

I have to put in both a Wow! and a Yikes! Wow for being looked upon by both sexes as the beauty you are, but yikes for being put in that situation by those guys. Would I ever be nervous if that ever happened to me (yeah, in your dreams, Carolyn ). You handled it well, Sakura.

I am more than happy for you, hon. You've made it, big time.

HUGS

Okay, anyone just grabbing my hand would have got pepper sprayed, even if it was to just twirl me around. You don't go grabbing people's hand to spin them around to get a better look at them.

[Guest Maria_B]

I must live dangerously, I would have given the spanish guys some attitude, mildly flirting while turning them down.

Note: Don't do what I would do, it's not safe x___x.

The girl at the salon though? That's freakin' creepy. That is unhealthy obsession right there O____O.

Ah glad to see that his eyes work properly

* breaks of a piece of what ever it is she seems to have , and gives it to Megan * be beautiful on the inside and it will show threw to the outside

Spanish males...... they tend to assume familiarity with practically every woman the come acros. though trust that i do have a lazer guided knee, had he touched anything other than my hand he would have been a enuch faster than he could say " ay dios mio ! "

I guess i find it odd as i feel i look fairly average . so when i am suddenly showered with praise and admiration , i get a bit embarassed. i guess i don;t see what every one else sees . the crux of most transsexuals i think. i mean don't get me wrong i don;t think i look bad . i just don't feel i look good enough to merrit the attention i get. it is something i talk to my therapist about semi often
